Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

Tanking up for the weekend...

I 3D printed up some jeeps for my military train, does that count?   They're true 1:48 scale size.

John, that is an excellent looking fleet!

Thanks, I'm assembling groups of military vehicles for the twenty 15" flatcars I have.

John, it appears from the vehicles gathering that "deployment" is imminent on your layout?

The Buick "Skylark" has battery problems again in the lot at Bob's Country Store...this time the "Riviera" provides a jump...one "Big 8" to the other...

Another fabulous photograph, Paul!  Your cars look great and you arrange them so well to tell new stories!

Love  those jeeps…. Did you do a 3-D scan and print or did you draw it?  Either way I am always impressed with talent😉

Definitely!! 👍🏻

Should I buy a Chevy or a Ford...?   Plenty of V-8 power to choose from...

WOw it's been awhile since I have been here! What great looking cars and wonderful stories!

John, you have quite the military collection of jeeps! Do you plan on printing some duce and a half's?

Paul your lots are always full and the town is always busy! I always love the stories that come with your photos!

"Ole Glory" flying in the backgroud! After a busy weekend in town, the huge underground hi-test tank will need to be re-plenished with 93...

Mike, thanks for the comment!  I know you're a car guy too with that heavy power on your old layout...

"Joe cool" is having second thoughts as to whether to take his '65 SS over the crossing track...looks a little bumpy for his taste...  He came into Bob's Country Store lot from the back entrance...

The "Vette" finally got off the lift, replaced by the '67 Studebaker...

Morning Paul, It looks like Joe better turn around and go back out the back entrance to town! If not he might end up at the garage like that Vet with the hood off! That poor Vet, if I remember correctly it has spent more time in the shop and on the lift than any other car in town! The owner must just beat the heck out of it!

Mike, the "Vette" is a labor of love for the mechanic...he gets free lift tiime when things are quiet at the station, but he's almost ready to give up on that little power house...

New rubber for the Dinky 643 Austin Loadstar army water tanker:

Another survivor from my ill-spent youth.

PD

Weekend activty at Djer's Used Auto Sales was brisk all the way into Saturday night as shown here...Djer's goal was to clear the lot of convertibles before the snow filies.  The deals were aggressive! Djer doesn't have a place to store his convertible inventory over the winter, so he opened up today (Sunday) to hopefully sell the remaining convertible inventory...
